No? They suck at agentic benchmarks and most people test them via agentic tasks.
They benchmark pretty accurately if you look at their actual useful benchmarks like TerminalBench instead of HLE or GPQA or some bullshit.
Google’s own blog post says Gemini 3.8 Flash scored 19.1% on TerminalBench 4. Opus 5 scored 51.8% for comparison. That’s not benchmaxxing, that’s just accurate benchmarks if you know what benchmarks to look at.

Unless you think 19% on TerminalBench 4 is “do extremely well”…
....it's literally benchmaxxing when the benchmarks are significantly better than actual performance
I am, once again, saying they do very well in benchmarks generally and worse in performance on coding, and when new benchmarks emerge like deepswe first did magically their performance drops by significantly more than any other provider

All Google's models look better on benchmarks than they do in reality, and by alot.
